I don’t follow this.

We were absolute enemies of Germany and Japan in WWII. After we destroyed Germany and Japan, we became their allies.

Russia today is not the Soviet Union anymore. The technically lost the cold war (although the USA squandered that victory with the piece dividends).

A new relationship should be explored.

It was in fact explored and it was spurned by Vladimir putin. Hence my sarcastic remark:

Great idea! Why didn't Obama and Hillary think of it, they could have offered Russia a "reset."
